The Breakthrough Sound of God's Wild Lovers
I hear the sound of thunder as God's wild lovers rise. I see the earth quaking open at the sound of their praise. I hear the violent roar of freedom exploding from deep within these wild lovers. I see the sword of truth propelling out of their mouths, delivering a death blow to cycles of dysfunction and generational bondages. I hear ecstatic praise rising from those who have had their mouths clamped shut by the enemy! I see the scepter of the Lord passing over, like a winnowing fork, sifting hearts and motives.
God is unraveling generational chords of dysfunction that have wrapped around your purpose like a noose. He is "rewiring" your thinking patterns to truth and cutting off the life source of lies. He's exposing and releasing His judgment against systems and cycles that have stolen your energy and wickedness that has tried to derail your purpose.
"For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind..." (Hosea 8:7)
The statutes of God are just, and His commands enlighten your eyes to see from Heaven's perspective. In this last season, hearts were tested by fire, but it was the humble who passed the test.
"The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes..." (Psalm 19:8)
Shifted, Not Sifted
The ones who stayed humble, despite persecution...
the ones who were underestimated...
the ones who were used and cast aside...
the ones who even believed that they themselves had been dealt the final death blow—The enemy wanted to sift you, but now God is shifting you! (Photo via Pexels)
"Simon, Simon, satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers." (Luke 22:31–32)
Everything that can be shaken will be shaken, but the oil and wine of God will never be destroyed!
Drink Deeply of the Wine of God's Presence
I saw these wild lovers isolated in a desert and surrounded by tormentors. In the midst of this desert, with death pressing in all around, Holy Spirit began filling the deepest and largest goblet I had ever seen with wine. He gave His beloved the goblet and said, "Drink deeply. The time of rejoicing is here!"
You may be standing in the middle of desolation or gasping for breath as you lay exhausted and thirsty on the dry ground of a desert, but I hear the sound of wine swishing! I see the refreshing joy God is pouring out for His love-sick Bride! People will say, "How can they celebrate in the face of such massive devastation? How can they sing the song of love so freely?"
"Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine." (Song of Solomon 1:2)
The Hebrew word nashaq (Strong's 5401) in Song of Solomon 1:2 means "kiss" and "be equip with." It's intimacy with God that equips us!
Press into the Place of Intimacy
You who are God's wild lovers, hear me! Press in, and from that place of intimacy with the Lord, contend for your inheritance! Everything that can be shaken will be shaken, but the wine of God's presence can never be destroyed. Being intoxicated with Holy Spirit is what will satisfy, sustain, and strengthen you. The wine of God's presence (intimacy with Him) is the immunity and inoculation to the shakings and trials of this world! Drink deep, O lovers of the one true God! Let Him refresh you with the intoxicating joy of His wine.
Be Filled with Oil
"Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them, but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps." (Matthew 25:1–4) (Photo via Pixabay)
Matthew 24 talks about the story of the ten virgins. Virgins are pure. They have abstained from the ways of the world and the flesh. These pure ones were not sinners; they were those consecrated to God. But five of those consecrated to God were not ready! They stayed pure, but they didn't stay filled with fresh oil!
Purity is not enough! We must be continuously filled with the pure oil of God's presence. Last year's oil is not enough. Yesterday's oil is not enough. Being half filled is not enough. We need to stay full of fresh oil!
God Is Flipping the Script!
The enemy sought to prevail over you, to assassinate you, and to shipwreck your calling, but God is flipping the script! The enemy thought he sifted you, but God is shifting you!
"...[W]hen the king's order and edict was about to be carried out, on the day when the enemies of the Jewish people expected to prevail over them, things were turned around so that the Jewish people themselves prevailed over those who hated them." (Esther 9:1, emphasis mine)
"Who is that coming up from the wilderness, leaning on her beloved?..." (Song of Solomon 8:5)
Rejoice! The script has been flipped! Receive the shift of the Lord. Drink deeply of the wine of God's presence! Stay full of fresh oil! Those who need to be strengthened are waiting.
"Simon, Simon, satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers." (Luke 22:31–32)
